Peace and justice

 

Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm writing the day after the President's speech, which I didn't watch. I flashed onto the many channels which covered it last night, then went to a recorded show to entertain myself. He may think he is entertaining, but hey, I've seen it all before.

I offer no comments, as others have already done so eloquently. 

Writer's Almanac today (March 5) reminded me that...

It was on this day in 1933 that the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote in German parliamentary elections, enabling it to join with the Nationalists to gain a slight majority in the Reichstag. Within three weeks, the Nazi-dominated Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, which gave Hitler dictatorial powers and ended the Weimar Republic in Germany.


Working towards justice for all who are receiving the brunt of these unjust actions...I salute all who can do so. So many people are hurting, and losing their jobs, their health care, their homes. Once again we are neighbors joining neighbors, just like many of us did after Hurricane Helene here in NC, to demonstrate, to call and write to those who might make a difference..

My health continues to stop my involvement in many activities that I promote. But I can only sit here in my apartment. Let's just say, I can network from here, and hope this energy through words to someone else might help then! Action is not inner work, but I'm thinking of each thing I can/am doing.
